7 Design Principles for Warehouse Planning to Reduce Costs
2021-10-21 14:55
Warehouse management is an important part of enterprise cost control, and optimizing warehouse management methods can greatly reduce the cost of enterprises and obtain more profits. In order to achieve a better quality warehouse management model, we must have a set of perfect and reasonable professionalStorage Planning Scheme. A good storage planning program, the standard should be done at the lowest possible cost, to achieve the rapid and accurate flow of goods in the warehouse. The realization of this goal can only be achieved by integrating logistics technology, information technology, cost control and the organizational structure of the warehouse.
The logistics planning principle of the warehousing system is not static and depends on the specific situation. In certain situations, some principles influence each other and even contradict each other. In order to make the best design, it is necessary to choose and modify these principles. So, what aspects should the logistics planning of the warehousing system start from? As the largest warehouse planning expert in the north of China, Jiuwei will analyze and answer this question today.
1. Principle of system simplification
According to the standardization of logistics, the standardization of packaging and logistics containers should be done well, and the storage and transportation container units of bulk goods such as groceries, grain, beverages, salt, sugar, feed, and irregular shapes should be composed of standard storage and transportation container units, so as to realize the coordination of the load capacity and effective space size of the container units and transportation vehicles, the coordination of the container units and loading and unloading equipment, and the coordination of the container units and storage facilities, this will be conducive to the coordination of various links in the storage system, in the remote transfer and other operations, do not change, improve versatility, reduce handling time, reduce the loss of goods, damage, thus saving costs, but also simplify the loading and unloading handling subsystem, reduce the operation and maintenance costs of the system, improve the reliability of the system, improve the efficiency of storage operations.
2, the principle of separation of logistics and information flow.
Modern logistics is the logistics supported by computer network. The combination of logistics and information flow solves the control problem of logistics flow, improves the accuracy of system operation, and improves the efficiency of system operation. If the logistics and information flow cannot be separated as soon as possible, it is required to set up corresponding logistics information reading devices in each sub-node and joint node of the logistics system, which will inevitably cause redundancy and increase the cost of the system. If the logistics and information flow can be separated as soon as possible, the required information can be identified at one time and then transmitted to each node through the computer network, thus reducing the cost of the system.
3, Principles of Graphic Design
If there are no special requirements, the logistics in the storage system should be realized on the same plane, so as to reduce unnecessary safety protection measures, reduce the utilization rate and low operation efficiency and high energy consumption of lifting machinery, and improve the efficiency of the system.
4. The principle of flexibility
The construction of warehouses and the purchase of storage equipment require a lot of money. In order to ensure the efficient work of the storage system, it is necessary to configure targeted equipment; and changes in the social logistics environment may change the variety, specifications and scale of storage goods. Therefore, when planning, pay attention to the flexibility of mechanical and mechanized systems and the possibility of expanding the scale of operation of the warehouse.
5, the shortest moving distance, to avoid the principle of cross logistics lines
The shorter the moving distance, the lower the time and cost required; avoiding the intersection of logistics lines can solve the problem of cross logistics control and material waiting time, and keep the logistics smooth.
6. Principle of minimum number of material handling
Whether it is manual or automatic, each material processing requires a certain amount of time and cost. Through composite operations, or reducing unnecessary movement, or introducing equipment that can complete multiple operations at the same time, the number of processing times can be reduced.
7, Principles of Cost and Benefit
The principles of investment cost and system benefit must be taken into account when building warehouses and selecting storage equipment. Under the condition of meeting the operation demand, the investment shall be reduced as far as possible.
